Breaking….Another bomb blast at Bankok near ferry terminal to Asiatique.

An explosive device has been thrown from Bangkok’s Taksin Bridge into the Chao Phraya River. Police have not reported any injuries. Law enforcement has said reports of a separate blast near a railway station are erroneous.

The explosive, believed to be a pipe bomb, landed in the water near a pier where a number of ferry companies operate, taking tourists around the city’s waterways.

Assistant National Police Chief Prawut Thawornsiri said the device was thrown from the bridge, but hit a pillar and bounced into the canal. Police Lieutenant General Prawut believes the perpetrator wanted to throw the bomb onto a busy pedestrian platform leading to the pier, but missed. CCTV footage taken at the time of the explosion showed people running down a causeway over the canal to escape the blast, according to the Bangkok Post.

Police arrived at the scene quickly and sealed off the area as they looked for and collected evidence. No casualties were reported.
